Below is a message[s] from an e-newsletter.

I wonder if LibreOffice is affected by such attacks?
Since it affects MS's older office packages, there may be
some issues with LibreOffice.  So the question is;
is LibreOffice affected by such Flash Player Attacks?


-----------------------------------------

Microsoft blocks Flash Player attacks

Microsoft has released a new tool to protect users of Office 2007 and older. The Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit (EMET) prevents new Flash Player attacks. Microsoft says Office 2010 and newer versions are unaffected. The attack uses Excel documents to infect machines.


------------------------

Adobe has confirmed that a new attack is exploiting Microsoft Excel. It makes use of a bug in Flash Player. Specifically, the attack sends users malicious Excel documents.

Microsoft has released a new tool to protect users of Office 2007 and older. Microsoft says versions of Office newer than 2010 are unaffected.

It's called the Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit. It uses two anti-exploitation technologies to thwart these attacks.

Microsoft says Office 2010 is unaffected because it already deploys these technologies. . . . . .
